To many of us, a CHEKOV.
But man, what a BESTER he was.
Legend as both hero and villain, with equal parts humanity.
Rest in peace, sir.

Alright that’s it for us in Albuquerque!
I feel like I say this every time we leave a place but once again we met so many incredible people here.
Today we also tried some New Mexican food at The Frontier which pretty much everyone we met recommended to us. It was really good!
We also checked out the UNM campus and today was the first day where it actually felt like fall. The wind, the cooler weather and the trees losing their leaves. With the mountains in the background Albuquerque really is a cool city and we enjoyed our time here a lot!

Let me make this real simple.
You're at a gas station. You use your card at the pump. The pump had a skimmer.
A debit card: Your bank account got exposed YOUR MONEY was stolen from your checking. You can usually get it back but its not guaranteed. You also might not get it all back. There is also a reporting period you must fall into.
Credit: You call and resolve the fraudalent charge easily because the banks money got stolen, not yours. The bank ain't letting anyone steal their money. Even if you make a purchase and the product wasn't delivered such as a reservation that was canceled or a canceled flight, the bank doesn't mind fighting them for you.
Interest? Not if you maintain discipline as use it as a debit card only, paying it off at the end of the month.
Bonus, a virtual credit card (G-Pay/Apple Pay): Practically skim-proof as it makes a disposable virtual version of the actual card to do the transaction.
It's not about rewards, it's about protecting your money.

If you put monthly expenses on credit and pay off the card each month, you never accumulate interest but get to prove that you can be trusted with someone else's money. That's good when you have to be trusted with larger expenses. But it's fine to acknowledge you can't be trusted

Thank you for saying what needs to be said @Linus__Torvalds 👏

i really fw open models because i genuinely believe they are the only way to leverage this tech for the good of humanity: we either all have free local access to the technology built on all of our combined (often stolen) data or we end up in the bad timeline

I don't know what 7x8 is, but I know 8x5 is 40 and 8x2 is 16 and added together that makes 56. It takes me a couple extra seconds, but I still get there and building a mathematical ladder is much easier than rote memorization

i love that i’ve lived in an uninsulated cabin in the woods for the last year and i grew up programming my first AI “boyfriend” when i was 10 and now there’s extremely online posts about not making the AI boyfriend because then we might all have to learn to live in the woods

Deb Haaland won't debate because she doesn't need to, to win.
That's the political reality.
One candidate in our state's governor's race is skipping debates. KOB 4 spoke with a UNM political science professor who says the trend is growing.

Friendly reminder that if the APR on a credit card affects your life in any way, you are not a credit card person and should stop using them immediately and only use a debit card. Seriously.

If you’re a CPU architecture nerd, do yourself a favor and read FEX’s latest blogpost on emulating x86-TSO.
Do you like reading Dolphin-EMU’s dev blogs? Then you’ll enjoy this.
Apple has the huge advantage of being vertically integrated so Rosetta was able to “cheat” with dedicated x86 semantics. FEX has a way, way harder problem of having to target arbitrary ARMv8a CPUs. Like, how do you turn an x86 atomic fence into…something that makes sense on ARM?
Really fascinating problem, and I love how they are tackling it! Makes me more excited for the steam frame…(if I could get one (waitlisted 😢)).
If they keep it up (this is their first big article), this will quickly turn into one of my favorite devblogs!
